Oh, and btw Ardu, the Quetzal in Wizard101 is based off the Mayan/Aztec God Quetzalcoatl, who is most commonly depiced as a feathered snake, just like the Quetzal in Wizard101. Although in your numerous threads and posts on countless websites(Wizard101 Cental, the Official Wizard101 Message Board Forums, here...) about this matter, whenever anyone tries to get that through your thick skull on any of the sites, you seem to ignore them. Get a life. Stop spamming sites about how Kingsisle disrespects other cultures, and refusing to see other peoples point of view. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? I am starting to think you are just a troll and don't even really believe this at all.

The actual Quetzals are birds species, I don't see an Owl or Hawk being describe as a freaking snake.

KingsIsle and their community are very ignorant about the actual Quetzals, and they keep using the same excuse about referring to the Aztec god.

I'll say however that I was pretty pleased that Star Citizen got the "rising star" award. Im seriously interested in that game as well. I have the origional Wing Commander stored on my external and loved all the Wing Commander games as a kid. Even the first Wing Commander is still fun to play through, and still my favorite of the WC series. Can't beat a classic like that.

The only thing about Star Citizen that depresses me is the long wait until it sees fruition. I haven't had a gaming joystick in the span of the last decade, as I didn't need it for games like FreeLancer and such. But I'm seriously thinking about picking one up for Star Citizen some day.

I just look at the development of Star Citizen as one of those tiny little miracles in the industry of gaming as a whole. The fact its even being made is kind of mind blowing. I can't wait to see the end result.

It looks like some further clarification is in order. Wizard 101 does not have 30 million players, they have had 30 million people try the game over the years. A very, very small percentage of that number became subscribers at some point and the current sub rate is miniscule in comparison to the overall subs they have had altogether.

As I play both pirate 101 and GW2, I can say the population on both games is pretty low. To say one has a more significant population than the other is misleading as both lack a serious population at this time. In fact, I have heard from more than a few people in the know, that Kingisle is currently not happy with the poplulation in Pirate 101 and expected a bigger player base. Current subs on Wizard 101 are also bordering on the lowest the game has ever had. You will see a new promotional effort within the next month or two geared toward bringing in more subs into both Wizard 101 and Pirate 101.

The difference in players choosing Pirate 101 over GW2 in this type of vote i believe signicantly revolves around the type of players who play the game and the effort of the manufacturer to promote the game. Most people playing GW2 really don't care about this type of thing where I believe the population of pirate 101 cares much more about this type of thing as evidenced by player conversatons and efforts by KI themselves. I received an email from KI to vote and saw more than a few threads as well. Either way both games are good games. Happy Holidays everyone!!

Get educated and don't be so ignorant.

Yes, I know that. But they are obviously not referring to the bird! They are referring to the god! Why can you not see that?!

Proxies wouldn't reset the vote, the poll will view the account as a completely different person. Like I said, GW2 losing is not my beef, I've never played Pirate101, it could be amazing, but that doesn't change the fact that I feel something's incredibly fishy here. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it. It's too coincidental how alike the posts were that stormed the poll and somehow just managed to beat GW2 in time.

Great advertising for KingsIsle, you have to admit.

Anyway, it seems a lot of people are enjoying both Pirate101 and GW2 nonetheless, so it's a Merry Christmas............. for now.

That is eaxctly your beef. You are only concerned with proxies and sock puppet accounts because some other MMO won. I am 100% certain if GW2 won you would never ever bring up issues of proxies and rigged poll.

Because it makes sense and doesn't seem like a crock of shit? Well yeah, the MMORPG community has been talking about GW2 for years, no one's been talking about Pirate101 until now... I wonder what the point of even having a "community" is when the community's votes don't matter. You and I know why Pirate101 won this thing, and it wasn't because of MMORPG users. /shrug

Maybe all these 1 post wonders will stick around and contribute! /sarcasm

Actually, I checked up on that and this site checks IP addresses, so unless they had quite a lot of computers or just went to friends houses to use theirs or places like where you can use a computer like Best Buy, which is unlikely, you can't really spam the polls.

Ortwig, Pirate101 is a fun game. Very different from the carbon copy hack-and-slash MMORPG grind fests that seem to pop up on a daily basis. I enjoy it as an adult but alos like that I can let my kids play without having to worry about blood splattered guts and gore or 90% naked women with physical attributes bordering on the impossible being plastered all over the screen.

Should admit that they advertised for their players to vote and even gave incentives..

Hell, it's not even "funny" it's shameful..

At least they didn't take performance-enhancing drugs to beat the already drugged-up competition and then go and write books about how great they are...only to be exposed and stripped of all titles...wait, what are we talking about again?

As a GW2 player I do not know how to handle this second place behind Pirates 101.

Should I start playing Pirates 101 or go cry for my game loss?
